fez police Leopoldville

Here is a (unissued!)police fez I am having for many years.
Very different in construction and color as the ones used by the the (Belgian!!)Weermacht*/Force Publique.
Never could convince any Belgian Congo collectors of it's originality, until these week, when I found photographic evidence of two in use!
Probably as rare as a double runic ss helmet...
cheers

*Weermacht means litteraly "defence force" in old Flemish, but in no longer in use (maybe for obvious reasons!!)
